35 million Americans live in poverty, and yet, this is what our president is focused on.

Speaker Johnson: Federal employees aren’t being paid. Nutrition cuts may cause children to go hungry. Millions are seeing their health premiums soar. End the 6 week paid vacation you’ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law. Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois. And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

They can't spell "April"? "The termination emails were riddled with mistakes — with employees’ names, the month of April and even the institute’s title misspelled in places — a telling sign of the rushed and haphazard nature of the operation..." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

DOGE fires nearly all staff at U.S. Institute of Peace headquarters
D.C. employees of the institute, founded and funded by Congress, received late-night termination notices, though most of its overseas staff were left in place.

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”
The image is a heatmap titled "Measles," showing measles cases across U.S. states from 1928 to 2003. States listed on the y-axis include Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The x-axis spans years from 1928 to 2003. A vertical line marks the introduction of the measles vaccine around 1963. The color scale at the bottom ranges from blue (0 cases) to red (4,000+ cases), with shades of green, yellow, and orange indicating intermediate values (1,000, 2,000, 3,000 cases). Before 1963, many states show frequent high case numbers (yellow to red), while after 1963, cases drop significantly, with mostly blue indicating near-zero cases.

So very true!! First and critical step is to realize that this is NOT a Presidential political system anymore. It is (at best!) an illiberal Parliamentary system. Here is the blueprint of how to bring the Democratic party back from the wilderness: www.thanoscatsambas.com/how-to-bring...

Dear Democrat Leadership, It's way past time to take pool noodles to a gunfight. It's way past time to "go high" when they "go low." It's now time for brass balls and iron ovaries. Get a grip. Crawl out from under your desks and EFFING FIGHT to preserve our democracy! Please.

Millions of tourists will not come here now. Foreign students will find somewhere else to get an education. Foreign investors will put their money elsewhere because Trump has broken the belief that America is a safe bet. We are only beginning to witness the consequences of this tragic mistake.

Both of these members of Congress interrupted the speech of a President. But only one was physically ejected by the Sergeant at arms. What is the difference between the two that caused that?! We all know.

Trump wants to control all federal firing & hiring. He wants to be able to reduce & refill the ranks of career fed'l employees. It's soft coup (non-military) happening before our eyes, but too many people aren't paying attention. Read about it here: joycevance.substack.com/p/humphreys-...
